12 mile drive up the road to the lookout and trailhead - you might want to stop to adjust to rapid elevation change, but gorgeous up there!

Great place to have a picnic and explore the trails - beautiful eucalyptus trees and fresh air. You don’t need to be staying in the cabins to enjoy the trails - good mountain biking as well 🌈

Place of Intrigue
Very interesting history regarding WW2 - And the convenience store has cute stuff. The gas here is cheap, and the bowling alley is a bit of a family-friendly dive bar... there’s also a fantastic community theater here during “normal” times (closed at the moment). Definitely worth a visit, and great trails are nearby.

A local gem, absolutely lovely people and an odd assortment of supplies. Restaurant next door has great pizza. I’m a little bias towards this shop over the Kilauea General Store... but they are both great🌋

My favorite coffee on the island. Awesome atmosphere, all local coffee and chocolate. Don’t go if you’re in a rush, this is more of an “experience” then a quick stop for caffeine - absolutely worth it
